3.3.3.6. Send mail through SMTP

3.3.3.6.1. What is Send mail through SMTP?

This module allows to send the mail-messages
from phorum (i.e. notifies) through an external
SMTP-Server without using PHPs internal
mail-function. This is useful for when PHP is
not setup to use a local SMTP server, or if you
need to use an SMTP server with SSL/TLS or
smtp-auth. It is disabled by default.

3.3.3.6.2. How do I use Send mail through SMTP?

Once you have enabled the module, you need to
fill out the details of the SMTP server in the
Settings page. If your Phorum is in a shared
hosting environment, then your host should have
sent them to you when you created your account.
If not, ask them.
